Hand in hand, teach you to buy the coolest cat scratching board with "paw feeling"!- Ningbo Sentian Pet Supplies Co., Ltd.

What is the day-to-day life of a cat?

After spending time with cats, you will find that this magical creature will make you love and "hate" at the same time.

Love, of course, is their cute, cute and easy to overturn appearance~ I touch it every day after get off work, any stress, trouble or unhappiness, all melted into the furry world;

However, under this cute appearance, there is also an amazing destructive power. I wish I could instantly bring your mood back to its original state~~

In addition to the terrible hair loss attack mentioned in the previous article, cats like to extend their "magic claws" to every corner of the house:

Every day when I go home, the newly bought sofa in the living room is smashed again. The hole in the corner of the mattress in the bedroom has been torn so that the sponge pad is exposed, and I am ready to announce my retirement at any time; The heart, even the carpet was not spared, was caught out of the three-dimensional drawing roll....

tell me what can i do??

Of course I choose to forgive them~

1. Why do cats have to sharpen their claws?

Claws, as an indispensable survival tool for cats, are the biggest support for cats to hunt, defend and escape when they live in the wild!

It is said that "if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tool", and cats are no exception.

Even if domestic cats live a comfortable life and have no worries about eating and drinking, regular polishing of their claws has long been deeply written into the cat's behavioral genes!

① Prevent the claws from being too long

Cats grind their claws. The principle is the same as rodents like to chew on things and grind their incisors. Without external intervention, only constant "use" can keep the claws at a normal length and sharpness.

Otherwise, the excessively long claws will not only stab their soft pads, but also affect their normal movement;

② Declare territorial sovereignty

That's right, cats are born with a strong sense of territory. While grinding their claws, the special smell emitted by their sweat glands on the pads also marks this area accordingly: This is my territory. How to catch!

At the same time, it also alerts other species (such as shit shoveling officers) that break into the territory: this place has been occupied, please pay attention to this cat~

③ Exercise tendons and joints

In order to recover quickly in a long-term lying/lying/lying state, cats often arch their backs first, then extend their front paws forward or upward and make a relaxing action of scratching the ground to fully stretch the muscles, joints and tendons .

At this time, a sofa leg and mattress that can be leveraged become their claw points. Relax and relax and grab a grab to get back the claw feeling~

④ Express excitement

This is very understandable. When people are happy, they can't help but dance. When cats are excited, they will use the action of grinding their claws to fully release their emotions. At this time, what they thought in their minds was probably: I catch, I catch, I catch...!

2. Why do you have to buy a cat scratching board?

Back then, the story of Dayu's flood control taught us: blocking is worse than sparse.

It's the same when dealing with cats grinding claws. Forcibly beating, scolding and drinking can only be controlled for a while. Only good guidance can make cats and furniture live in harmony. Everyone is happy!

How to be guided?

First of all, you may not buy cat sticks or cat treats, but you must not buy cat scratching boards!

after all,

The funny cat stick can be replaced by a stick + a rope;

Eating too much cat treats will make cats fat and picky;

But without a cat scratching board, everything that can be scratched in your house is waiting to suffer~~

There may be cat friends who will say, "It's all right, the things in my house are the things of cats. They can grab them if they want, and buy them if they are damaged."

This kind of doting thought is a bit dangerous~

Not to mention, indulgent discipline may make the cat intensify the destruction of the objects in the house; with the owner's acquiescence, scratching will not be punished. Over time, in the cat's cognition, this will also become a natural and correct thing. matter.

3. How to choose a good gripper?

One is the most common, and everyone often buys it: corrugated cardboard.

In fact, in essence, it is the same thing as the carton we receive express delivery. Looking from the side, it is a layer of wavy core paper (that is, what we call "corrugated core"), plus a layer of flat cardboard, such a layered kraft paper.

The thicker the carton, the more layers inside it.

When choosing this kind of scratching board, pay attention to the following 3 points, which can greatly improve the cat's feeling of use!

① Press tightly!

The tighter the better, the more resistant to grabbing!

I bought the cheap ones, and after scratching for a while, all the laminated layers inside fell out, and I was drunk; the scratch boards of good quality, even if they were scratched for 2 months, at most the surface layer was scratched. Now, after a little cleaning, you can continue to use it, very strong!

② Minimize crumbs!

Although I always talk about grabbing the board, I actually prefer grabbing the box. It is the kind of open carton with a scratch plate at the bottom, because it does not drop slag. . . . I have to clean the scratching board every day when I come back. If I don't clean it, it will be very messy and it will be a headache. If you buy this type of box, you can leave most of the paper residue in the box, and just throw it away when it's empty.

③ It is best to hang it on the wall!

As mentioned earlier, cats prefer to put their claws on vertical things to stretch their waists and grind their claws, which is why sofa legs and mattresses always suffer; while box-type scratch boards do not drop slag, they are still placed on flat ground after all. the scratching board, the cat can't stretch to the fullest, and after scratching, it will still go to "scourge" the sofa.
